Florida has their new distance coach

Wow!

Valby stays in Florida for sure.

Can you imagine if he could convince some of those Bama blue-chip girls to transfer to Florida?!? In cross-country, they would immediately contend for the trophy!

Somebody posted a few days ago that Florida was going after Alabama coaching. They must have had an inside scoop.

Breaking! Breaking! Breaking!

Kudos to the StrideReport for another scoop!

He left a possible championship caliber team to a one-man team !?????

i guess thats a win for him, he gets paid more by only coaching one runner lol

Why does Florida only hire young white distance coaches? He’s a clone of Solinsky.

I wonder if Florida’s new distance coach is aware of this brand new indoor facility opening in Gainesville?? 😁

The sharp shooters here might just now be reading the tea leaves.

He seems like a straight-up guy:

He mentions they picked up Flomena Asekol from a Junior College. She had a great race at Natty’s, going sub20, finishing 14th.

Check out Florida, Flomena! The transfer portal window is open!

In this interview:

Per his rolltide bio, he coached Mercy to two titles. Tyynismaa and Olemomoi doing great. Valby is going to stay I bet. Will any of the Bama girls follow him?

I hope part of the goal is to build a real XC team.

Olemomi was a junior college champion (she ran as Hilda Chebet), finished 6th I think

Valby leaves and Bama runners stay. Easy to find a big name to take over a hot Bama XC team.

It makes sense why the random Sam McDonnell transfer… foreshadowing?

I saw Olemomoi(Hilda Chebet) gushing over Tuohy on Youtube, saying she's the best. Does she have plans to join her idol?
